stat-api — Sports Data — Claude Code MCP server: sports data
This MCP server gives agents a catalog of sports data and tools to query NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, PGA, DFS, and prediction markets. Browse the catalog without a key; querying data requires a free API key.
claude mcp add --transport http sports-data https://api.stat-api.com/mcpWhat stat-api — Sports Data does
An agent can first inspect the available leagues and tables, then check a table’s fields and supported filters. With an API key, it can query rows with filters and pagination, search player names, look up games on a date, and find Kalshi or Polymarket contracts linked to a game. Other tools fetch a single record or run GraphQL queries that connect games, teams, players, and odds.
The server uses HTTP at https://api.stat-api.com/mcp. Catalog tools work without credentials, but data queries need a free API key. In Claude Code, add the server with claude mcp add --transport http sports-data https://api.stat-api.com/mcp; configure Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY> to access the data tools.
What it helps with
- inspect the tables available for a league
- find a player despite a typo in the name
- look up games on a calendar date
- filter sports records by table fields
- find Kalshi or Polymarket contracts tied to a game
Example prompts for the agent
- Show the NBA tables and describe the fields in the games table.
- Search for a player by name, allowing for a possible typo, and return their records.
- Find games on a date and show any Kalshi markets linked to them.
